Vaccines
"Wow, a new notice has been put up." Hermione said, rushing over to lok at what it said.
"REALLY? HOW AMAZING!" Ron said being sarcastic.
"It says that there has been a new type of flu found and we need to get the vaccines..." She trailed off. She hated vaccines.
"Oh. When do we get them?" Harry piped up.
"Tomorrow." Hermione said.
"Oh okay, its good because I don't have quidditch then."
"Yeah..."
"Hermione... you aren't scared of getting a vaccine are you?" Ron said with a smirk.
"No, no! Im just not feeling very well this morning." Her hands were shaking.
"Really?" Ron said, trying not to laugh.
"Don't laugh! I really don't feel well!" She had tears in her eyes, to try and hide it she turned away.
"Ron, stop." Harry said and walked around to the front of Hermione. He placed his hand on her forehead. "You do feel a bit warm..."
"Im fine!" She said and walked in the direction of the dormitory.
"Did you have to do that?" Harry asked Ron, slightly annoyed.
"How was I supposed to know she felt ill? She looked alright before she saw the notice."
"Oh well, lets go to tranfiguration."
"Fine."
They arrived at the tranfiguration room with ten minutes to spare, and to see that Hermione was already there. She had her head in her hands and was still shaking slightly.
"Mione, you okay?" Harry asked her.
"Yeah i'm fine." She replied.
"Hermione, Im sorry... I shouldn't have laughed." Ron said relucantly.
"Its alright." She still sounded annoyed. She closed her eyes after and she winced. Harry noticed.
"Hermione are you sure you are alright?"
"Yes! Just a slight headache! Its nothing."
"You should really go to Madam Pomfrey."
"Im going to see her tomorrow for the vaccines so why go now?" She asked.
"I guess your right..." Harry said, worried about her friend.
Professor McGonagall had just walked in the room, and while the three friends had been talking, more students had arrived.
"Good Morning class. As you all should know by now, you are all due to get vaccines tomorrow. As you have me tomorrow second period, I will be accompaning you to the hospital wing then."
"If you still feel ill then, Mione, you should tell her." Harry whispered to her.
"Okay." Hermione agreed.
"Anything you two would like to discuss with the class?" Both Harry and Hermione looked up to see Professor McGonagall looking at them.
"No, sorry Professor." Harry said, looking apologetic.
She had instructed the students to work in pairs, but Ron, Harry and Hermione worked in a three. They took it in turns to tranfigure the pear in front of them into a different fruit of their choice. Normally, it would take Hermione only one try, but today it seemed to be taking a lot longer.
"She really is ill isn't she?" Ron said quietly to Harry. "She can't even do this!"
"Yeah, I really think she should go to Madam Pomfrey but she she won't go." They stood and watched her try. Eventually she got it, and sat down at her desk afterwards. After Harry and Ron had also completed the take, they sat next to Hermione and watched her rub her head.
Class was over, so they all went to Divination. They all did nothing as they thought it was pointless. How were your tea leaves supposed to predict your future? They were only tea leaves...
At lunch, all three friends sat in their usual spaces and Ron pigged out on the food infront of him. Harry ate a moderate amount, but they both watched Hermione just take tiny bites and mostly play with her food.
"Eat something. You will feel better." Harry told her.
"No, i'm not hungry." She replied.
"Come on! If Ron can eat that much, i'm sure you could manage at least a bite!"
"If anything, Ron is making me feel sick. So if you excuse me, im going to the common room." She got up and left the two boys staring after her.
"Whats with her?" Ron asked. Her obviously hadn't heard Harry and Hermiones conversation.
"I told her to eat something and she said that you were making her feel sick with how much you were making, then she left."
"I have to eat, Harry, you know that." He said, and began stuffing his face again.
"I know you have to eat, but I honestly don't understand how you eat so much and don't get fat."
"Magic." The two boys laughed and when lunch had finished, they went back to the common room to see Hermione sitting next to the fire.
"Hey Mione." Ron said.
"Finished stuffing your face have you?" She said with a smile.
"Hey, you know I love my food."
"We have the next two lessons free." she informed the others.
"Really? Why?" Ron said looking gob smacked.
"Professor Binns is on holiday and we always have a free period on a Monday."
"Oh yeah! WOOHOO!" Ron was happy, and Hermione was laughing at his reaction.
"Thats cool. I needed extra time to do my homework..." Harry said.
"Better get started then. I finished mine the other day." She smirked at him.
"I wish I was as smart as you Hermione, you make everything seem effortless." He told her.
"Just pay attention in class!" She told him and playfully punched his arm.
"But thats boring." Both of them laughed together.
